Now as for my question:
I have zero pick up radius, but all the gold piles that would otherwise take time to pick up, they are left behind now. This feels somewhat wasted since its free to pick up after all. So what would be the cheapest way to get some pickup radius for me? Which slot would you suggest?

I think the best option for you would be to get Vile Ward with pickup radius...
it can still have str+vit and be somehow "cheap", and the pickup radius on VW doesnt feel wasted, because the only other option for the last roll is life%, which is expensive as hell

Though he could do the same on a rare shoulder VW has no special stats. Always high resists, regen .. yeah but wouldn't a rare with same stats be cheaper? ;P
